Neo Tokyo (Meikyū Monogatari note lit. "Labyrinth Tales") is an anime anthology film released in 1987. The film has three segments: Labyrinth (directed by Rintaro): A girl and a cat wander through a surrealistic city and encounter a circus. The Running Man (directed by Yoshiaki Kawajiri): A race driver has telekinetic powers, which go out of control. Construction Cancellation Order (directed by Katsuhiro Otomo): A robotic construction crew won't stop working on a cancelled project.Streamline Pictures released an English-dubbed version under the title Neo Tokyo. Later, ADV Films released a bilingual DVD with the Streamline dub, still titled Neo Tokyo. Also, The Running Man was featured in one episode of Liquid Television (with a different English dub). | |

Does This Remind You of Anything? | |
| Neo Tokyo (1987) / int_14ed6ab7 | comment |
Does This Remind You of Anything?: "Trying to use logic against a never-ending tide of robotic "get-the-job-done" types should be pretty familiar to anyone who's ever worked for a big company, especially in Japan." Robot #1 declares in its introduction speech that if the proper procedures are not followed then there will be chaos, even if the hierarchy is utterly nonsensical. There's also the way that the robots work themselves to the point that they explode and robot #1 just decides to increase overtime. What really makes Sugioka angry? The fact that the robots cost a lot, so being worked to the point of exploding is costing his company a lot of cash. | |

A.I. Is a Crapshoot: The robots in the third section refuse to be shut down, even though the project has been cancelled and the individual units keep breaking down or exploding. | |

Art Shift: The segments have different styles, especially the first one, which makes use of squash-and-stretch animation not often used in anime. | |

Super-Power Meltdown | |

Superpower Meltdown: This is pretty much the entire premise of the second segment. A race driver's telekinetic powers go out of control, killing all of his opponents and ultimately himself. | |
